Abstract
This study examines the adaptive processes of prisoners in various correctional centres. It is based on qualitative data collected through semi-directed interviews. The analysis has allowed us to create a typology that reveals the attitudes, opinions or values that prisoners adopted in relation to other inmates, prison staff or to the prison in general. We have also discerned four ideal types that clarify prisoners' trajectories. From these results, we have identified determining factors that relate to the process of integration. The type of detention, age, length of incarceration, number of incarcerations, type of offence, and meaningful prisoner relationships with the outside world are all significant variables.
